MG MGA - TRW/Lucas Master Cylinder Update

Due to an incorrect and leaky Sprite master cylinder and a heavily corroded original unit that was too far gone, I decided to purchase a new one. With the favorable exchange rate, I found a TRW/Lucas setup delivered to Japan for about $130.

I decided to take Barney's advice and modify the flow control valve by drilling a small hole on the side immidiately after unpacking it. I proceeded to install it and there it sat for almost a month as work and family responsibilities took over.

Last weekend I pulled out the Eezibleed and flushed the air and old fluid from the system. It was just starting to rain but I didn't want to waste an opportunity to go for a drive.

I'm pleased to report no issues, but I did have to re-learn the clutch operation as the original 3/4 bore master cylinder required quite a long stroke.
